AUSTIN, Texas — A forensic accountant tells jurors in Tom DeLay's money laundering trial that records for the ex-U.S. House majority leader's political action committee show the group listed as corporate campaign donations $190,000 that prosecutors allege was part of a scheme to illegally funnel money to Texas GOP candidates.

But DeLay's attorneys told jurors on Tuesday that the reference to the $190,000 as corporate money was simply a labeling mistake and no corporate money went to Texas candidates.

DeLay, who has denied wrongdoing, maintains he had little involvement in how the PAC was run.

The former Houston-area congressman is charged with money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering. He faces up to life in prison if convicted.
